A group of volunteers have been locked up in cages and sexually humiliated in a British reality television show that explores torture techniques allegedly used against terrorist suspects held by the US at Guantanamo Bay and in Iraq.

The four-part series on Channel 4 asks whether such methods can be justified as a way to combat terrorism, a spokesman for the station said.

"The information gained through torture has been justified as the centre of the war against terrorism," said the spokesman, who asked to remain anonymous.

Gotta lova C4. Whether it is cutting open dead bodies, showing abortions or even torture, C4 always has their name signed up.

The FCC would have a heart attack if they saw what Channel 4 called science.

No, they can't. It is undoubtedly torture.

However, what am I or anyone else who disagrees going to do about it (UN, ect)? I have no power; not even my vote means anything (Electoral College) and in a country of close to 300,000,000 people, it only confirms it.

I feel a sense of hopelessness day after day when it comes to this.

I am against those who prohibit TV or any media of showing anything (except sick things like pedo). I don't really care. The "off" button is right there and you can press it anytime
